Simon Barney’s New Fiancée Blasts Tamra Judge In Explosive Interview!
The Real Housewives of Orange County star, Tamra Judge, blasted her her ex-husband, Simon Barney’s “girlfriend” online this week, and the future legal stepmom of her children has had enough. Catushia Ienni fired back via an interview with Radar Online, and is responding to Judge’s nasty comments.
Judge posted her raging rant on Nik Richie’s Instagram page, on January 5th.
“My ex’s ‘girlfriend’ writes me notes on my daughter’s homework telling me what MY daughter needs to do. Like I’m a moron. I so bad want to say STFU and have your own kids. But I don’t… it’s called boundaries. It’s great to have an involved step parent. But know your boundaries….b***h,” she wrote.
Judge has been locked in a bitter custody battle with Barney, and their teen daughter Sidney, has chosen to live with her father, and Ienni. Ienni defended her actions, commenting,
“The homework notes is something I occasionally have to do to relay information back to her. We don’t have a relationship where I could call or text her, I wish we did. Unfortunately we don’t have a healthy co-parenting relationship, mainly because of Tamra’s actions.”
Ienni claims that co-parenting with Judge is a struggle.
“Simon and I have tried many times to establish some kind of relationship with Tamra for the kids’ sake, with very little success,” she told Radar. “So writing a note to let her know what needs to be done on her day is what I need to do. I can’t rely on a ten-year-old to relay information correctly.”
Judge ranted about an incident that supposedly occurred at Sophia’s school.
“My ex’s gf sat in my daughter’s classroom seat at back to school night and I had to stand in the corner. BEYOND BULLSHIT!” Judge wrote. “I’m married to Eddie and he has enough respect to stay home! I deal with this kind of crap all the time. It’s heartbreaking.”
Ienni fired back, telling her side of the story.
“The back to school night that Tamra keeps referring to happened a year and half ago. At the time, Tamra hadn’t gone to one school event in the four years I had been with Simon,” Ienni claimed.
“So as usual,” she continued, “We figured she wouldn’t be showing up, considering when we got there she wasn’t there. She ended up showing up 45 minutes late,” Ienni claimed. “This was the first time she showed up in four years and I would assume it was because she was going through the custody battle with Simon. Other than that she’s never shown up to any conferences or school functions until that night.”
“Sophia considers me as her stepmom and I consider her as my stepdaughter,” Ienni said. “I went because I wanted to know what to expect since I do homework and study with her every night she’s with us.”
Simon and Catushia are engaged, but according to Ienni, Judge refuses to acknowledge their commitment.
“Tamra keeps referring to me as Simon’s girlfriend when she knows all too well that I’m his fiancée and have been for a year and five months,” she said.
She said that she decided to break her silence, when Judge accused her of overstepping with her children.
“I’m really confused why Tamra has to continually talk about Simon and I in the public (social and regular media) when clearly we want nothing to do with being famous and/or included in her public life,” she said. “I’m sure she will even comment that these comments are in an attempt to get my 15 minutes of fame. When clearly my actions thus far have shown I don’t want 15 seconds.”
Through it all, Ienni claims to harbor no ill will towards Judge.
“This is about what’s best for the kids and their happiness. I hope that Tamra finds happiness in her life and leaves us alone and out of her public life. I wish her nothing but the best.”
